Pass the Ball Game

This is a fun way to learn a few colors at a time. You will need six small balls - red, green, yellow, white, orange and blue. Pass the balls one at a time. As you are passing, everyone says the name of the color. To make it extra fun, we put our came to a fun rocky beat.

Pass the ball is a fun classroom activity and is included in our
Classroom Spanish for Kids program.
Classroom Spanish also supplies an oversized parachute. Kids love to play parachute games and we use it to help learn the colors.
